Chapter 54: The Bloody Battle in Yuzhong (4)

As soon as the day dawned, the smoke of the two clans' camps was lit early, and unlike before, it was not the sturdy warriors who were holding the sea bowls and swallowing desperately, but the slaves who carried the baggage. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the back of the tent, sacks filled with dirt were piled up haphazardly, and slaves were digging and filling them not far away. Noah looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, although Batan's method was a little stupid, but it was effective, it is conceivable that as long as the city wall was filled with sacks, not to mention people, even horses could rush up.

After the three-way drum, the slaves were gathered together, and the simple cowhide shields were distributed to the slaves one by one, and their task was very simple, carrying sacks full of dirt, quickly rushing to the city, throwing them down, and then running back to the barracks with all their might.

"Woo~" The dull horn opened the prelude to a new day of attack, and the slaves picked up the sacks around them, quickly rushed out of the military formation, and rushed to the city with all their might. Arrows rained down on the city of Yuzhong, and the pawn army laughed on the city wall: "A barbarian is a barbarian, and he came up with such a stupid method." Ying Guang waved his hand and said: "Big man, you are wrong, they are not stupid at all, although this method is time-consuming, but it is the most effective against a fortified city like ours whose walls are not high enough." Prepare for a tough fight, big man. ”

"Rush!" The slaves held cowhide shields to protect their heads, bowed and ran desperately forward, the feather arrows on the head of the city caused great damage to the poorly equipped slave army, the sound of the city defense crossbow breaking the air was like the call of death, the corpses of countless slaves stood upright and nailed to the ground, forming a small forest, and the surviving slaves were shuttling in this wood, avoiding the attack of feather arrows as much as possible. Thanks to the efforts of groups of slaves, a thick layer of sacks soon accumulated under the city walls, and many slave corpses were mixed in between.

Looking at the slope under the wall, Noah smiled with satisfaction, although the defenders of Yuzhong caused a lot of damage to the slaves, but these are completely within the bearing capacity of the Qiang people, slaves, they are cannon fodder, and they are not worth more than cattle and sheep, so it can be said that they are how much they want. If this continues, it will not take more than two days for the sacks to be filled in the city, and that is the best time to take Yuzhong.

Ying Guang's eyebrows were furrowed, if it goes on like this, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken, and it must go out to counterattack once, at present, the pawn army can not leave lightly in front of the front, Zhang Chao and Wei Dong protect the two wings, at this time, only Xu Sixi and Feng Zhuang can be used, after thinking about it for a moment, Ying Guang called Feng Zhuang in front of him.

"Lao Feng, you should also be able to see that if you stick to it, there will only be a dead end, I need you to lead a group of people who dare to die to go out for a counter-charge, do you dare to take it?"

Feng Zhuang smiled heartily and said, "Less... Commander, rest assured, Lao Feng I am not afraid of fighting to the death, I am afraid of idleness, although the commander is arranged! ”

"Good!" Ying Guang said with a smile, "I won't let you go to death, our army is short of cavalry, and the only ones who can be sent out are the infantry troops, charge out and try to cut down the enemy slaves, but you are not allowed to chase five hundred steps, because the city gate is opened, the other party will definitely send cavalry to rush the city gate, you have to run back as soon as possible, don't be entangled by the other party's cavalry, understand?" ”

"Rest assured, Commander! Lao Feng remembered! Feng Zhuang hugged his fists and said solemnly.

"Order, order Zhang Chao and Weidong to organize all the crossbowmen and make every effort to cover the retreat of Fengzhuang!"

A group of 500 people quietly came to the city gate, not far from the outside of the city, the ant-like slaves were carrying sacks, panting and running to the high slope in front of the city wall, throwing the sacks, turning around and running, some unlucky, just ran up the top of the slope and were hit by bows and arrows, the bones rolled down, some were killed on the spot, became part of the slope, some missed the vital point, lying on the ground wailing for help, but at this time how anyone would take care of the wounded, because at this time their own lives are not their own.

"Squeak" The city gate suddenly opened a gap, and Feng Zhuang was the first to rush out with a chain hammer, howling and killing the slave in front of him.

The sudden counterattack surprised the slaves who were moving forward, and after a short period of distraction, the slave army suddenly became chaotic, dropped the sacks, turned around and fled, not to mention that the slave army had no weapons, even if they were well-equipped, they had no strength to fight after running so far with the sacks.

The purpose of the village is very clear, that is, to kill as many enemy slaves as possible. The formation did not go deeper, turned around and inserted it into the bottom of the slope, blocking the retreat of hundreds of slaves, with a shout, five hundred Qin soldiers and hundreds of slaves were killed in one place, those slaves panicked, some desperately rushed to the Qin soldiers in front of them, and some ran back to the city in embarrassment, but no matter what, no one could escape from the encirclement of the Qin army.

Feng Zhuang wielded a chain hammer and plunged into the slave herd, this heavy weapon played a huge role at this time, dozens of catties of hammer head caused a lot of damage to the slaves by the inertia of picking up, rushing all the way, leaving behind a bloody alley and stumps all over the ground.

When he turned around, he saw that the dust was rising behind him, and the target was himself, so he yelled with a broken gong at the moment: "Everyone run back!" ”

As soon as they heard the order, they didn't care about the formation at all, and they ran fast one by one, and Fengzhuang was at the end, covering everyone to enter the city. Zhang Chao and Wei Dong were already ready, and shot wildly at the Yue cavalry who chased out, the Yue cavalry were all skilled in bow and horse, hiding in a stirrup, and dodging a lot of arrows with the speed of the horse, only a few people were shot off the horse, and Zhang Chao and Wei Dong's sniping did not go to the desired result.

However, the time of Fengzhuang's retreat was just right, before the Yue's cavalry caught up, most of the Qin soldiers had fled back to the city, this was the first time Fengzhuang represented the Qin army to fight, the task was successfully completed, not to mention, the soldiers were not damaged, and the effect was surprisingly good. was secretly proud in his heart, and suddenly heard Ying Guang shouting at the head of the city: "Lao Feng be careful!" ”

Feng Zhuang felt a tingling pain in the back of his neck, the hair stood up all of a sudden, and he didn't have time to turn back, Feng Zhuang took advantage of the situation and lay forward, a spear rubbed his scalp and nailed it to the city gate, a lazy donkey rolled, and rolled out obliquely, and then a carp stood upright, but saw that not far from him, a big man of the Yue clan who rushed to the front pulled out his waist knife and was coming to him.

Feng Zhuang blocked the city gate, at this time, as long as he took a few steps back, he could smoothly retreat into the city, but this was his first battle into the camp, how could it be so easy to end, Feng Zhuang carried the chain hammer and did not retreat, but roared to meet the Yue's big man in front of him, but if he could not kill it in one round, Feng Zhuang would be surrounded by the follow-up cavalry, and completely lost the hope of returning to the city.
